At a time of increasing antisemitism, a global resurgence of far right doctrine and deepening political complexity around issues of Jewish identity, an author and filmmaker tackles the historical roots of hatred and resilience.

In his recent Jacksonville appearance with Together Against Hate: Promoting Unity in Our Community – Rabbi Raphael Shore explored the themes of his new book, Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Jew?, in which he says that the core of antisemitism is actually founded on the strength of Jewish people. Rabbi Shore and our JCA’s Heather Terrill, Director of the J Institute joined Anne Schindler on-air to share more insights about what is happening in Jacksonville and efforts to rid hate and bias in the community through the Together Against Hate series in partnership with the First Coast YMCA.
